Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon is in legal hot water once again. Gordon was arrested in Raleigh, NC, on Saturday morning around 3 AM for driving 50 mph in a 35 mph zone and DWI.

This is another black eye for the receiver who led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards last year- even though he only played in 14 games because he missed two for drug-related suspensions. Gordon could be facing a one-year ban for violating the league’s substance abuse policy – he’s appealing the ruling, this latest incident probably won’t help.

Browns general manager Ray Farmer released the following statement regarding the arrest:

“We are aware of the matter and are disappointed to learn of this situation. We will comment further at the appropriate time.”

D’Qwell Jackson, a former teammate of Gordon’s sent out this tweet following the arrest.
